@brainrapist I guess I can relate to the humble living conditions and I love coffee.☕😌
It also reminds me of a Robert Frost poem, I'll have to look up the title.
The Investment
Over back where they speak of life as staying
('You couldn't call it living, for it ain't'),
There was an old, old house renewed with paint,
And in it a piano loudly playing.
Out in the plowed ground in the cold a digger,
Among unearthed potatoes standing still,
Was counting winter dinners, one a hill,
With half an ear to the piano's vigor.
All that piano and new paint back there,
Was it some money suddenly come into?
Or some extravagance young love had been to?
Or old love on an impulse not to care-
Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?

@brainrapist T.S. Eliot is my favorite but Frost is definitely top five.

@Lostpoet why T.S. Eliot? And who are the other 3?

@brainrapist T.S. Eliot is the goat of Modern poetry Nobody really questions it just like nobody questions why Michael Jordan is the goat of Basketball.
Edgar Allen Poe
Sylvia Plath
Frost
Donald Hall
Are all top there are others I just can't think right now
